I've wanted to own a record player for ages - my parents had one when I was little & I have such lovely memories of twirling around the living room aged 5 while Kate Bush Wuthering Heights was spinning away!
I've been keeping an eye out at vintage fairs & on ebay for a record player ever since I finished doing up the sunroom, as I'm convinced this is the perfect finishing touch for the room, and it will be lovely in summer with the doors to the garden open & a record playing away. Having been outbid on everything I set my heart on & then becoming worried about the potential extra costs of buying a vintage model I finally decided it would be best/ sensible to get a new one but in a repro vintage style.
I fell in love with these online and I love the suitcase design (it's a portable record player so we'll be able to have it out in the garden if the fancy takes us). They come in the most beautiful colours and I've gone for the vibrant blue.
I'm thrilled with my little record player, and have well & truly started my vinyl collection having purchased my favourite album ever, Carole King's Tapestry at Bath Vintage Fair. Bring on summer evenings with an old time record playing in the background!
